Without input from Blair, Labour has got to a stronger position.
Yes, Blair won 3 elections so on a strategy to final success perhaps Blair has ideas on presentation and what to make the main thrust of campaigns.
Although Starmer should know that himself.
He's fought in 2 elections at high level of his own prominence.
He should already know what should have been better to do and know all that was going wrong and ended up wholly negative for Labour.
What wasn't wrong in my view were the policies.
I campaigned in both 2017 and 2019 and people, not just Labour supporters liked the policies.
They disliked intensely the awkward Brexit plans and had turned solidly against Corbyn personally.
Not against his policies however.
If Starmer really clears out, after his trip back to the drawing board on policies, if he does clear out the popular policies of 2017 and 2019.
Then he will put at risk the position Labour is in at this moment.
Because the position we of Labour are in at present is because of a now growing dissent against the Con Party, not any real solid love for Labour.
If Starmer listens to Blair on policymaking then for me that will be a.great mistake.
Blair won 3 elections, however the last one in 2005 with only just over 35% of the votes cast.
Blair was on the way out.
Starmer either is or isn't the leader who has HIS plan or he's not.
Labour doesn't need a ridiculously termed NEW Labour Blair like creation.
It just needs the right policies for NOW and to present them honestly to the voters.
